Dumbson

Fraggle Rock is threatened by two invasions -- one from Sprocket, who tries to break through the hole in Doc's workshop, and one from Junior Gorg, who plans to blow up the Fraggles' entrance to the Gorgs' garden with dynamite.

Meanwhile, Doc tries to figure out where he had placed the rent money.

Fraggle Facts[]

  • The song "Muck and Goo" is shared by the Fraggles and the Gorgs. In flashbacks, Gobo remembers Uncle Matt singing it to him as a child, and Junior Gorg also remembers Pa Gorg singing it.
  • This episode also shows that Ma and Pa Gorg hold Fraggle Rock sacred as Kissing Rock, where Gorgs receive their first kiss.

Notes[]

  • A clip of Junior Gorg attempting to destroy the Fraggle Rock entrance would later be used as stock footage in the episode "New Trash Heap in Town," where the Fraggles dream that Junior has broken in.

International Versions[]

  • UK version: The Captain is building a model Lighthouse and becomes increasingly irritated by Sprocket's constant barking at Gobo. It also doesn't help matters when Sprocket knocks over his Lighthouse and smashes a few plates when hammering the hole bigger.
  • German version: The scenes with Doc and Sprocket are nearly identical to the Canadian version, but Sprocket is more specific when he tries to describe Gobo to Doc at the start, indicating that he has a tail. Uncle Matt's postcard is the same.
